Finally! Amazon now sells my e-book! (and other good news)

Whew! It has taken close to three months but, finally, as of yesterday, Amazon is selling the e-book version of my memoir, Please, God, Don’t Make Me Go: A Foot-Dragger’s Memoir.

A special thanks to Barnes and Noble for selling both the print book and e-book from the very beginning, June 4. Because of that, I’ve been referring everyone to them.

Amazon has sold my print book since day one, but I had to fight one battle after another after another to get Amazon to (1) sell my e-book and (2) install the “Look Inside” feature.

Also, I want to share with you this endorsement from a special person:

I read [Please, God, Don’t Make Me Go: A Foot-Dragger’sMemoir] over the weekend and had a hard time putting it down. 

At times I found myself laughing out loud, especially at some of the cute stories you include about your children. 

Other times I read through tears, imagining some of the heartache the Lomalinda team endured. 

Your writing style is engaging and descriptive. I also enjoyed looking at the photographs you included. 

Thank you for your Wycliffe service and for saying “yes” to God’s call on your life. 

Blessings,

Vicky Mixson, Executive Vice President and Chief Communications Officer, Wycliffe Bible Translators USA

  

I told you it was from someone special!

Also, many thanks to memoirist Kathleen Pooler who left a five-star review (!) at Amazon and Goodreads. Check it out at this link.

Thank you to everyone

for the nice comments you’re making about

Please, God, Don’t Make Me Go.

I hope you’ll think about

doing what Kathy Pooler did—

leave a review on Amazon,

Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, etc.

Reviews are like a much-needed

pat on the back for weary authors!

Check out Kathy’s blog, Memoir Writer’s Journey. Also, I encourage you to consider buying and telling others about Kathy’s excellent first memoir, Ever Faithful to His Lead: My Journey Away from Emotional Abuse. Her new memoir will be released soon.

I forgot to tell you: The e-book is for sale!

I forgot to tell you!

Finally, the e-book version of my memoir is for sale! It took a whole month after the publication of the print book.

Only Barnes and Noble sells the e-book version of Please, God, Don’t Make Me Go: A Foot-Dragger’s Memoir.

And currently Barnes and Noble offers it at a reduced price!

I don’t know why Amazon won’t sell the e-book (Amazon sells only the print book), but so be it.

You can get a sneak peek inside the memoir at Barnes and Noble, but Amazon still hasn’t installed the Read Inside feature. (Do you see a trend here?)

I’m getting nice feedback from those who are reading Please, God, Don’t Make Me Go: A Foot-Dragger’s Memoir. For example:

“Chapter 23 is outstanding!”

“I love, love, love your memoir! I’m not rushing through it but rather savoring the experience and your faith journey, and a few laugh-out-loud moments.”

“I’m full of smiles as my wife and I read your book together every evening. . . . What fun. I will hate to see the book end.”

“Lots of laughs reading your book.”

And I’m hearing this from several old friends who worked with us at that remote missions center: “I love your book. It’s bringing back so many special memories.”

So, if you’re looking for a good summer read, buy yourself a copy of Please, God, Don’t Make Me Go: A Foot-Dragger’s Memoir.
